Summary
In collecting material for this book I have had so much trouble in finding out the state of ecclesiastical archives in the peninsula that it seemed worth while to set out such general information as I have assembled even at the risk of error or omission.
A. Documentation
There is a complete collection of papal and curial instructions from the sixteenth century onwards in Enchiridion archivorum ecclesiasticorum. Documenta potiora Sanctae Sedis de archivio ecclesiastico a concilio Tridentino usque ad nostros dies, eds. Dom. S. Duca and Simeon A. S. Familia, O. C. D. (Città del Vaticano 1966). A brief account of the history of ecclesiastical archives is given by Professor G. Battelli in Enciclopedia cattolica, s.n. ‘Archivio’.
B. In addition to the older publications referred to in chapter 1 above, parts of which are the more valuable now in view of the serious damage occasioned by the Second World War, there are a number of reliable books which I have referred to in the notes. Two series are worth searching for volumes of value: the Studi e teste published by the Vatican Library; and, somewhat surprisingly, the Publicazioni degli Archivi di Stato.
